Exactly the podcast I was looking for! It’s a mix of missing people stories and criminal cold cases. I fell in love with Missing 911 on TV and wanted more of the same.
There are two hosts. Hopper presents the facts of case and McKenzie, asks clarifying questions. Honestly, it’s as if McKenzie is reading my mind sometimes and asks the same questions I would. They are always mindful of delivering the episode with dignity and compassion for the victim, and families who are affected.

I listen to several true crime podcasts, this one is very professional, easy to listen to, and has many cases I haven’t heard covered in other podcasts.
I stumbled upon this podcast a couple of months ago and I’ll be the first to admit, I am a little ADD, so I began listening with some trepidation. In other words, would it really keep my attention? But it did! It was like I was hanging on every word. Although I’ve never lost anyone in this way, I can’t help but feel a tremendous amount of empathy for the families left behind. The stories are well researched and the hosts are second to none. I have long drives for work and this is the perfect p... more
One of the best true crime podcasts out there. Every episode is thoroughly researched and packed with information, but the hosts present it in a way that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Whether it’s a cold case or a solved mystery, The Final Trace always leaves you with a deeper understanding of the story. Highly recommend to any true crime fan!
Great podcast! My new fav ! The story telling vs. just a news podcast makes this so easy to listen to. Definitely recommend

A compelling true crime series that chronicles disappearances, cold cases, and unresolved mysteries through tightly researched storytelling and careful empathy for victims' families. Episodes blend forensic detail, timeline reconstruction, and nuanced theories, often focusing on missing persons and lesser-known cases with a respectful cadence that avoids sensationalism. The show is likely to appeal to listeners who enjoy thorough case analysis, atmospheric narration, and connections between local histories and broader investigative themes. A notable strength is the consistent combination of solid journalism, clear pacing, and host chemistry that guides audiences through complex investigations in about 30–45 minutes per episode.
